Wasn’t yesterday fun? Well don’t get too comfy, today’s gonna be one for the books!

Day 5: 10-Minute HIIT Mountain Climbers and Planks

How to do it?

  • Get yourself warmed up. A few rounds of jumping jacks should do the trick.
  • Perform 30 seconds of intense Mountain Climbers. Don’t arch or slump your back!
  • Plank for 15 seconds. Hold the position while keeping your glutes and core tight. Keep the back straight.
  • Rest for 15 seconds. Get up and take a well-deserved breather.
  • Repeat for 10 minutes. Be aware on proper form throughout the workout.

Why it matters?

  • Pairing the Mountain Climbers exercise with Planks is an efficient way to include an isometric exercise in your routine.
  • Isometric exercises help your body activate all available motor units which carryover to other non-isometric tasks such as lifting exercises.
